MTN KAMPALA MARATHON 2007

Hullo,
Yesterday I participated in the MTN Kampala Marathon.This is probably the most challenging and the biggest race of the year in Uganda.(it happens every year here in Uganda and this was the fourth time now.)
Over 6000 people participated from within and outside Uganda, from countries like Kenya,Tanzania,Rwanda,Sudan,Djibuti and from other continents like Asia and Europe.

I took part in the 10km race.Thanks be to God,I managed to beat other participants and finished successfully.Of course,not in the first position.But my position tell that Iam a competent perfect runner.see details below;
Race type: 10km.
Race No: 6468
Time:01:00:19
Overall position:1290
Position in open category:1260
Male position:1207.
Wow! I made it. what do you think?The race was mainly dominated by Kenyans.It is yesteday that I got a chance to see the 2006, 5000m world staple chese Gold medalist and record breaker, Dorcus Inzikuru (a ugandan by the way.)and other Africa and world medalists like Moses Kipsiro,Abraham Kiprop,Boneface Kiprop, Kipkimei and kiplagat.(you may wonder why they are all 'kipkip'.they all come from the same region of the country.the eastern and people from this area are well gifted in athletics)

Talking about companies and clubs,they were well represented.For example Stanbic bank,Roofings ltd,Sms media,True african,UHURU Restaurant.(these guys showered us with plenty of fruits), Rwenzori mineral water,Saracen uganda ltd(provided security along side the Uganda Traffic and Police Forces).Media companies were also part of the challenge where radio stations like CBS was represented by Mr Abby Mukiibi (nose master)the programmmes manager,Kato Lubwama (Egg-like eyes),Sheillah Nvannungi(the princess)and Mr Abu Kawenja(huge).Othe radio stations like Radio one,Dembe fm,Radio simba and Radio two also had their employees in this nearly national event.

Oh my,i had forgotten the dramma clubs.How could I?.The Adzido performers and entertainment services took partas well.The club was represented by Kassujja Ibrahim(boxer)who only took 49:55seconds to finish the race as the 663rd person in the 10km race followed by Vincent,Ronnie and Shaffiq.Then, there came the one ane only number one present ME.Mr SSENOGA BRIAN KIMULI.In position no:1290.this is not a joke, this is serious.
Oooops.the Adzido dramma club director Mr Abu Kawenja, (huge)really displayed his skills in dramma.He made a show when he came to the finishing point while panting like a huge British bull dog.I wish you were there you would have seen him.
As if that wasn`t enough for this giant, he almost reached the point of purchasing aplot under the Red Cross tent where he put his big sized flabby tammy to rest.can you imagine?

However,it is as well good to note that Mr Kawenja did best in galloping several bottles of Rwenzori Mineral water and smooching sachets of powdered Glucose while he rested under the Red Cross Ward tent.Man, you would have seen this guy pressing and rolling his huge anatomy on the rather old and tired four inch matresses.Actually, Mr Abu Akawenja went to this tent for purposes of first aid.He wanted his tall flabby legs to be massaged.This was done while he (Kawenja) yelled out of pain, telling the fairly light skinnened tall lady to do the massagig slowly.He almost cried.May be he hae forgotten the saying "Big men don`t cry".Such a big day.All people wearing smiles on their faces as Juliana,Ragga Dee,Blue 3* and other local musicians woed the crowds upto 4:00pm.when the Lugogo Tennis and Rugby grounds were left as they were found.
ciao.Brian
